The scientists behind the familiar stories

Bringing together articles from *Scientific American*, this collection turns attention to scientists whose contributions went unrecognized in their own time and are now receiving greater notice. Its historical portraits are paired with questions about how recognition has been distributed in science—and how STEM fields might offer more equal opportunities and acknowledgment today. The book links the recovery of overlooked contributions to a broader examination of who gets remembered in scientific history.
